Dejan Lovren insists he will be motivated to win trophies for Liverpool after his double final heartbreak.

Lovren lost the Champions League final and World Cup final within the space of two months and admits that he will be haunted by the failure for the rest of his career.

But Lovren also promised that it will make him more determined next season to win silverware under Jurgen Klopp after being left devastated by the blow.

Croatia defender Lovren, 29, has yet to win any silverware during his four years at Liverpool after twice losing European finals.

But Lovren said: “I am pleased that I performed well but overall it's not enough. You need to win. It hurts personally because I lost the Champions League final and now this final and its not easy to accept.

“I will carry this all my life but I will also carry joy because not many players play in these two big finals so close together.

“I’m proud with my performances. Of course. I showed my quality all season and I will show game by game that I can do better.

“It’s difficult to understand and to accept when you lose and play well. I feel proud though because we gave everything but sometimes you are better but still don't win.

“But it will definitely motivate me next season to win trophies. Especially with Liverpool.”

Lovren has endured personal criticism during his four years at Anfield but is clearly proud to have earned more respect and shown what he can do during the World Cup final.

But Lovren is also hoping that the confidence and belief he can take from Russia will help him next season.

Lovren said: “I feel young for a defender, there’s still a lot more to come from me and I think we made our country proud.

“I saw the pictures after the final of the celebrations from Croatia and I am proud of that. We are expecting a lot more people in Zagreb when we go home and that will be a beautiful thing for a second place.

“The party will be good because we are good at that. We are the best at that! We believed we could do it. we played the biggest teams and we beat a team like Argentina 3-0.

"We showed now that we have overcome that. Three times extra time is tough and they also had one more day rest before the final. You know, many things. But our legs were fresh enough and thats good.

“Disappointed because we lost the game but played much better football then them. I am proud of what we achieved, second in the world.

“I’m proud of everyone and for the country. we have regrets now when we look at decisions but it doesn’t make sense anymore. It’s hard to describe.

“Maybe after a couple of months i will have everything straight. It's hard now as I am some moments sad and some moments happy. Overall I am proud.”

But Lovren did insist he was bitterly unhappy with a pitch invasion and he personally grabbed one of the protesters and threw him away from the pitch.

He added: “I don't understand how that's possible. I was mad because we were in good shape at that moment. I lost my head and dragged the guy and just wished he would be thrown away out of the stadium.”
